Merry Christmas 2011!!!

As you can see below, we kept the photo Christmas card going another year!  The massive improvement of quality over LAST YEAR was pretty much because Shannon did the entire card from start to finish!  She has WAY more artistic talent than me! 

 

So from our family to yours…

Minne-“No Snow”-ta

It seems we are having a little bit of difficulty kicking off the winter/snow season.  We got out first measurable snowfall back on November 19th.  Since then we have seen the following:

Melt down from the 11/19/11 snowfall…

Almost no snow left and rain showers!

I’m kind of bummed, because if it was only about seven degrees cooler, we would have some major snow right now!  The only nice thing about these warm temperatures is that Dad and I got the snowmobiles up and going for the winter and didn’t have to freeze doing it.  However, it might all be for nothing if we don’t get some major snow between now and our January 6th – 8th trip we have planned!  I would also like for my sister-in-law Ashley and her boyfriend Josh, who will be spending Christmas with us from Texas, to have a white Christmas!  I will keep you all posted!  THINK SNOW!
